A itorney Patented Jan. 13, 1931 UNITED STATES HJALMAR G. JERNIBERG, OFCHICAGOQILLINOIS WASTE msxaa Application filed February 11, 1930'.Seria1- No.'427 ,569.

This invention relates to a waste basket and has for its prime objectthe provision of a structure which may be incorporated in a desk in aconvenient manner for use.

Another very important object of the invention resides in the provisionof a waste basket structure of this nature which is simple, easy toattach in place, strong and durable, inexpensive to manufacture, thorlooughly eflicient and reliable in use.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features ofconstruction, and in 15 the combination and arrangement of parts as willbe hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a vertical section through a no desk showing my improvedwaste basket in place,

Figure 2 is a front elevation thereof,

Figure 3 is a vertical section through the waste basket structure,

25 Figure 4 is a top plan view thereof,

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 55 ofFigure 3,

Figure 6 is a detail sectional view of the inlet end of the waste basketshowing a mod 30 ification with a door,

Figure 7 is a top plan view of another embodiment of the invention.

Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that the numeral 5denotes a desk of conventional construction. My improved waste basketcomprises a vertical hollow receptacle 6 having an opening at the bottomof the front wall as is shown at 7 through which is slidable a drawer 8.This receptacle 6 merges into a laterally extending outwardly taperingportion 9 terminating in a horizontal neck 10.

A plurality of apertured cars 11 are provided on one side of this wastebasket so that it may be anchored to the inner side of the desk 5 as isclearly shown in Figures 1 and 2 by suitable fastening means. It will beseen that the inlet neck 10 terminates at the front end of the desk asto be conveniently located for inserting waste paper and thelike'therelinand the incline of the ex tension 7 will allow this wastepaper and theilikefto slide down into the receptacle 6 to bedeposited'into the drawer 8which may be" emptied when necessary ordesirable.

In Figure 6 it will beseen that I have shown a slightly modified form ofthe neck denoted" by the r'lur'neral 10 and at the entrance" of saidneck is a" hingedly mounted door 12 with which is preferably associatedsuitable'locking'means 14. a

In Figure 7 I have shown another embodiment of the invention wherein theextension 9 tapers in its width outwardly so that the neck lOa'f is"slightly spaced from the inner side of the desk and therefore arms 15"areextended laterally therefromtermi'nating in ears 11 which may be anchored to the inner side of the desk; g

It isthou'ght that the construction, utility and advantages of thisinvention will now befquite apparent to those gskilledin' this artwithout a more'detailed description thereof.

The present" embtdimeat "ofith'e' invention has beendisclosed" inconsiderable detailmerely for the purposes'o'f ekemplification since inactual practice it attains the featu'resof advantage enumerateda's'desirable in the statement of the invention and theabovede'scription'.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and inthe combination and arrangement of parts maybe re sorted to withoutdeparting from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafterclaimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. In combination with, a desk, a waste basket anchored to the innerside of the desk including a vertically disposed receptacle having aforwardly and upwardly inclined extension terminating in a horizontalneck adjacent the front of the desk.

2. In combination with a desk, a waste basket anchored to the inner sideof the desk including a vertically disposed receptacle having aforwardly and upwardly inclined extension terminating in a horizontalneck adjacent the front of the desk, the

bottom of the front wall of the receptacle being formed with an opening,and a drawer slidable in said opening.

3. In combination with a desk, a waste 5 basket anchored to the innerside of the desk including a vertically disposed receptacle having aforwardly and upwardly inclined extension terminating in a horizontalneck adjacent the front of the desk, the bottom of the front wall of thereceptacle being formed with an opening, and a drawer slidable in saidopening, a door hingedly mounted in the end of the neck.

4. A waste basket structure of the class described comprising avertically disposed receptacle merging at its upper end to a hollowforwardly and upwardly inclined extension terminating in a horizontalinlet neck, and ears on the receptacle at one side for anchoring thesame to the inner side of a desk. 7 r

5. A waste basket structure of the class described comprising avertically disposed receptacle merging at its upper end to a hollowforwardly and upwardly inclined extension terminating in a horizontalinlet neck, and ears on the receptacle at one side for anchoring thesame to the inner side of a desk, the front wall of the receptacle beingprovided with an opening and with a drawer slidable in the opening.

6. A waste basket structure of the class described comprising avertically disposed receptacle merging at its upper end to a hollowforwardly and upwardly inclined extension terminating in a horizontalinlet neck, and ears on the receptacle at one side 7 for ancho ing thesame to the inner side of a desk, the front wall of the receptacle being0 provided. with an opening and with a drawer slidable in the opening,said extension tapering forwardly. j

In testimony whereof I allix my signature.

HJALMAR O. JERNBERG.
